Chef's Cool Facts

Bibimbap Meaning

Bibimbap literally means 'mixed rice.' The tradition is for each person to mix all components at the table — it's part of the experience, not just a serving style.

Sesame Oil Rule

Sesame oil has a low smoke point — always add as a finishing oil after removing from heat, never for high-heat cooking. This preserves its toasted nuttiness.
